Thanks al. If you have a download manager that allows batch downloads you can get that whole book by downloading

http://images.library.wisc.edu/DLDecArts/EFacs/AmDrawBkChap/L/chap0(*).jpg

where (*) = 001 to 320. If you want you can change the L to M for smaller scans or to XL for huge scans.

Anyone else who finds that one interesting might like to look at our wiki for a whole bunch of other historical art instruction texts that are available as free e-books:
